It was a great big challenge to me and I felt people with autism has the same feelings as us and felt that they are able to give us such a big resonance

I had a target while I was doing this drama

For people with autism to be treated in a better system

As it is treatable, wish more systems to be created to get treatments

I heard that before ‘Good Doctor’ there were only 9 Pediatric Surgery Department

more are being created now and I wish for our children’s future and for the bright future

our country could become a country where Pediatric Surgery Department could further develop

Thank you so much. I will become an actor who is more humble and who does not calculate and who is down-to-earth (사람냄새나는배우) actor

extra:

sdee shares a story about how after Joo Won’s speech, a fan’s mother started sobbing. As it turns out her family has a young one with autism in elementary school. He was going to regular school and was taunted by many of the children for having autism. But after the ‘Good Doctor’ the mother found 3 letters from the students apologizing for making fun of him and saying now they know that he is just different and special. So after JooWon’s Best Actor’s Award for Male speech, her mother was crying hard.

Thank you to Joo won thailand Fan Club for giving me the idea on where to view Joo Won/s Speeches in English translation. I watched the entire KBS awards ceremony, and had a hard time to imagine what Joo Won was saying all about. Good you have the english translation made for non-korean viewers.
